Abstract
An improved exercise machine is revealed, consisting of an air spring added to standard weight training incline benches. The air spring provides positive resistance to the muscles used to push the weight up the incline. The positive resistance to movement supplied by this device has been shown to increase the strength of fast-twitch muscles when exercising.
Description
- This invention relates to exercise equipment involved in weight and agility training. This invention particularly relates to devices for fast and slow-twitch muscle training, using air springs.
- It is necessary to use the proper training techniques to achieve optimum muscle strengthening and toning. In particular, athletes with special performance requirements, for example agility or endurance, require specific training techniques and regimens. Athletes with rehabilitation requirements require a separate set of techniques
- To support these regimens, special equipment has been developed over the past few years targeting individual muscle groups. The equipment isolates the stress exercise on certain muscles and muscle groups while minimizing stress on the remainder of the body.
- The present invention is a modification to existing athletic training devices. By adding a simple air spring, in one of several possible shapes and configurations, it is possible to isolate training stress on individual leg, back, or other muscle groups. The first embodiment of this invention is targeted for leg muscles, but the concept is applicable to other training targets.
- In particular, this improvement to the standard leg press helps to stress both fast- and slow-twitch muscles. Usual training regimens for the legs tend to increase muscle mass for only the slow-twitch muscles. Fast-twitch muscles are key to athletic agility and need to be strengthened with a training regimen, but ordinary exercise machines fail to address them.
- Fast-twitch muscle training is accomplished by adding a positive-stress-inducing element, an air spring, to the ordinary negative stress inducing weights, The usual regimen is that an athlete sits in a special chair and places his legs against pressure pedals, usually at an upward slant. By pushing a weight upwards against the force of gravity, the slow-twitch muscles are exercised.
- The inventors have discovered that by adding positive resistance, an air spring, to the upward travel of the weights, the fast-twitch muscles can be exercised at the same time. This advance is responsible for measurable increases in leg strength not obtained with ordinary weight training systems. The concept can be applied to training muscle groups other than the legs.
- This invention provides an exact reaction to the action of pushing against the apparatus. Pushing with 120 lbs of force produces a 120 lb counter force. This principle can also be applied to apparatuses that are pulled on, such as pull-down equipment.
- The force is designed to be applied to the muscle at the full-extension of the muscle being exercised. State-of-the-art exercise machines provide the highest resistance at the beginning of the muscle extension, such as with the leg press machine. Adding the additional resistance force at the end of the muscle extension exercises the fast-twitch muscles not reached by state-of-the-art machines.
- In particular, during rehabilitation training, use of the positive resistance at the end of muscle extension accelerates recovery of both muscle strength and flexibility.
- The features of this invention will be best understood from the accompanying drawings, taken in conjunction with the accompanying description.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention on a weight bench -
FIG. 2 is side view of the invention/weight bench -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the invention/weight bench -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the invention itself -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment - The invention can be seen best in
FIG. 4 , and it consists of anair spring assembly 104, a fixedcrossbar 105, twoshaft clamps 106, two limit stops 107, anair fitting 108, asliding crossbar 109, and two slidingbearings 110, twofixed crossbar retainers 112, and two slidingcrossbar retainers 113. The exploded view reveals how the invention is assembled. Note that theair fitting 108 is “above” thefixed crossbar 105 when theair spring assembly 104 is attached to thefixed crossbar 105. This permits theair spring assembly 104 air pressure to be adjusted. - The invention is attached to a
weight bench 100 by sliding the fixedcrossbar retainers 112 over the weightbench sliding shafts 102 and attaching theshaft clamps 106 to secure the fixedcrossbar 105 to the bench. Theair spring assembly 104 is then attached fixedly to the fixedcrossbar 105. The slidingcrossbar 109 is then placed over the weightbench sliding shafts 102 and secured in movable manner to the weightbench sliding shafts 102 by means of the slidingbearings 110. The other end of theair spring assembly 104 is secured fixedly to the slidingcrossbar 109. - The device is operated by the user sitting in the
weight bench chair 101 and placing his feet against thefoot pad 103. The user then pushes with his legs against thefoot pad 103 until thefoot pad 103 encounters thesliding crossbar 109. - At that point, the user is experiencing negative resistance from the weight under the influence of gravity, plus positive resistance from the compression of the
air spring assembly 104. This combination of stresses is not available from any existing exercise equipment and is a unique feature of this invention. - From this point, the exercise motion attacks both slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscles, exercising them both simultaneously.
-
Air spring assembly 104 resistance can be adjusted by means of inflating/deflating theassembly 104 by means of theair fitting 108. - In an alternate embodiment, as in
FIG. 5 , theair spring assembly 104 is comprised of two inflatable hemispheres 120, one attached fixedly to thefixed cross bar 105 and one attached fixedly to thesliding cross bar 109. As is evident from the figure, the motion of pushing the weight up by means of pressing on thefoot pad 103 will eventually cause the two hemispheres 120 to meet and compress each other. The hemispheres 120 can be inflated/deflated to adjust the positive resistance experienced by the user, similarly to the unitaryair spring assembly 104 - Several alternate
air spring assemblies 104 are possible, including pistons and balls and the like. While the foregoing describes a preferred embodiment, variation on this design and equivalent designs may be resorted to in the scope and spirit of the claimed invention.
Claims (3)

the fixed cross bar attached at the limit of the upward travel of the weight on the incline, one end of the air spring assembly attached removably to the fixed cross bar, the other end of the air spring assembly attached removably to the sliding cross bar, the sliding cross bar attached in a sliding fashion to the incline traveled by the weight below the fixed cross bar, the weight attached in a sliding fashion to the incline,
the device positioned on the incline such that when the weight is pushed up the incline by a user, the weight eventually encounters the sliding cross beam, the sliding cross beam then compressing the air spring assembly,
the device designed such that when the air spring assembly is compressed in this fashion, that positive resistance force is applied to the user's muscles pushing the weight up the incline in addition to the negative resistance force supplied by pushing the weight up the incline,
